Hi Phil & All,

        Phil's "Subject" box describes Blanca Spring as a "Near-Hammer,"
But I had always heard it fell in a small pond people used as a swimming
Hole, NOT in a man-made pool resulting from a dam for the express
Purpose of creating such a swimming pool.

        I have swum in such a pool many times at the base of Mt. Lemon
on property bordering the Sugaro National Forest Park (Not certain of
the exact name of that park) in the Tucson area. My best friend lived
On the property and there was clearly a constructed dam to hold water
For swimming, but low enough to allow the water to continue to flow
Beyond that by spilling over the dam during the monsoon season.
 
        To my way of thinking a constructed swimming pool is a constructed
swimming pool regardless of the complexity of construction... A swimming
pool (that results from construction) is quite different than earlier
reports I had heard of merely a naturally occurring "swimming hole"
where a pond lay on someone's property. Therefore, Pena Blanc Spring IS
a hammer, having struck a man-made object (a man made swimming pool).
 
        Michael
